Definitions
- the invention provides the opportunity to control the alignment in an automatic way by operating the individual linear actuators. This works quickly and is also safe since operators can stay away from the lifting tool upon aligning the lifting tool.
- the lifting tool may be provided with sensors to measure acceleration/motion, position, gravity, vibration, pressure, etc. in order to facilitate automatically aligning and positioning in
- Figs. 4 and 5 are similar views as Fig. 3, but showing different conditions of the lifting tool.
- the lifting tool 1 is provided with driving wheels 13, which are mounted to arms 14 that are pivotally mounted to the frame 8 at the engagement members 6.
- the arms 14 are driven by hydraulic cylinders 15 such that the driving wheels 13 can be moved to and from the tubular element 3 of the transition piece 2.
- Fig. 4 which illustrates that the frame 8 has rotated clockwise with respect to the situation as shown in Fig. 3.
- respective upwardly directed supporting surfaces 16 of the engagement members 6 are positioned below the lifting plates 7, hence forming a bayonet coupling. This condition is shown in Fig. 6.
- Figs. 7 and 8 show the operation of the engagement members 6 in more detail.
- Each of the engagement members 6 is provided with an arm 17 that is pivotally mounted to the frame
- the lifting tool 1 may be provided with an alignment apparatus including a camera 21 and a control device (not shown) .
- Fig. 11 illustrates the functioning of the alignment apparatus.
- the camera 21 may be located on the frame 8 of the lifting tool 1. It is positioned such that a view line 22 of the camera 21 extends in the same direction as the centreline of the frame 8.
- Fig. 11 only illustrates the functioning of the camera 21 and the control device in general without showing the lifting tool 1, the transition piece 2 and the monopile, but a tube 23 in Fig. 11 may be considered as being a monopile.
- Fig. 11 only illustrates the functioning of the camera 21 and the control device in general without showing the lifting tool 1, the transition piece 2 and the monopile, but a tube 23 in Fig. 11 may be considered as being a monopile.
- FIG. 11 shows that along the view line 22 of the camera 21 there are a front imaginary circumferential image 24 and a rear imaginary circumferential image 25. Both front and rear imaginary circumferential images 24, 25 have different positions along the view line 22 and are generated by the control device.
- the camera 21 detects a front circumferential image 26 and a rear
